Doc will love this one. Leafs up 5-3 against the Pens at the end of the second. At one point they were up 4-1. Leafs manage two shots from the end of the second until the end of the game. Both shots were in the SO which don't really count as shots

Leafs lose 6-5 in the SO.

Out shot 17-0 in the third and 2-0 in the OT.

... and suddenly the Leaves are clinging to the final playoff spot in the east.

They are an injury-prone 3-line team with perhaps the worst group of dee in the league.

Twas just a matter of time until their young unproven goaltenders broke under the stress.

A team cannot be continually outshot like that and honestly expect to make the playoffs.

Ahhh it's a great life ain't it H-dub.

It is kind fun watching them implode. For sure injuries have hurt them but don't good teams find a way to overcome that? At least that's the shit we got after the Boston series.

But you are correct, they have a horrible defence and simply could not keep getting out shot the way they were. How did they go the third and all of OT without a single shot? I mean they chased MAF after he surrender three quick goals and had some newbie and they don't get any shots.
